There are a variety of opportunities to beneficially reuse organic materials, which can help save space at the landfill. Republic Services has implemented successful programs to manage organic waste in select locations, and we are working to develop broader-reaching, cost-effective organic waste solutions as part of our commitment to the planet.

Organic materials (including landscape waste, food and wood) are the largest component of our trash and make up more than two-thirds of the solid waste stream. Composting is growing as a method of managing these materials. This process involves breaking down organic materials so that they can be used for mulch or soil enrichment. In other markets, we have worked with our customers to develop options by which they can see the organic materials generated by their operations beneficially reused.
